In 2006 he founded Deutsche Rohstoff AG together with Thomas Gutschlag, which he led as CEO until 2014.

There is no reliable secondary source for the statement that Titus Gebel denies climate change. This cannot simply be inferred from the questions (basic principle: no theory). Furthermore, the Epoch-Times is in principle not quotable.

Titus Gebel denies climate change and sees advantages in global warming. According to his statements, the government and parliament are introducing new laws "in a targeted manner to lower the standard of living and thus endanger jobs, old-age security and social assistance in emergencies". For this reason, Gebel founded the “Klimafragen.org” initiative.

Free private cities

In his book Freie Privatstädte , published in 2018, Gebel modified Paul Romer's Charter City concept , which has not yet been implemented. Gebel attributes this to the unwillingness of states to allow administrative officials of a third state to perform sovereign tasks in their own territory.

In a so-called Free Private City, instead, a private company acts as a “public service provider” to protect life, freedom and property in a demarcated area. This service includes security and rescue workers, a legal and regulatory framework and independent dispute resolution. The residents pay a contractually fixed amount for these services per year. The public service provider as the operator of the community cannot unilaterally change the contract later. The so-called contract citizens have a legal claim that it is complied with and a claim for damages in the event of poor performance. Disputes between you and the government service provider are heard in independent arbitration tribunals, as is customary in international commercial law. If the operator ignores the arbitration awards or abuses his power in some other way, his customers will migrate and he will go into bankruptcy.

Gebel also expressly describes his concept as a means of coping with migration crises.

Gebel is currently working with partners to realize the world's first free private cities, including a. in Honduras . The concept is discussed positively in many ways in the media landscape, but also criticized as neocolonialist.
